  • SYNOVIAL EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX-SPECIFIC CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR FOR TARGETING REGULATORY T CELLS TO TREAT AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
    Publication number: 20240010703
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are chimeric antigen receptors (“CARs”) comprising an antigen binding site that recognizes citrullinated polypeptides. Citrullinated polypeptides, such as citrullinated vimentin, fibrinogen, and filaggrin, are expressed in the synovium of subjects with rheumatoid arthritis. Further disclosed are T cells, and in particular, Treg cells, that express these CARs. Administration of these CAR-T cells is useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis as well as other diseases associated with citrullinated peptides.

  • Inhibition of IL-8 in the treatment of pain and/or bone loss
    Patent number: 10940126
    Abstract: Pain associated with a contribution of IL-8 and osteoclasts in a subject is prevented, treated and/or alleviated by the administration of an effective amount of a compound capable of inhibiting or blocking the action of interleukin 8 (IL-8). Methods and compounds for this use are disclosed, as well as a diagnostic method and kit.

  • METHODS AND COMPOUNDS FOR THE TREATMENT OF BONE LOSS AND/OR PAIN
    Publication number: 20170105971
    Abstract: Bone loss and/or pain associated with an elevated activation of osteoclasts is prevented, treated and/or alleviated by the administration of an effective amount of a compound capable of inhibiting the activity of a peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) enzyme. Methods and compounds for this use are disclosed, as well as diagnostic methods, kits, and a method for identifying compounds effective to prevent, treat and/or alleviate bone loss and/or pain.

  • NOVEL ANTIBODIES
    Publication number: 20150056208
    Abstract: Autoimmune reactions to certain epitopes of self antigens most likely contribute to the development of rheumatoid arthritis. Often these epitopes are citrullinated. The present invention relates generally to novel antibodies that can bind to certain citrullinated epitopes namely citrullinated enolase, vimentin, fibrinogen and citrullinated synthetic peptides. These antibodies can be used in diagnostics of rheumatoid arthritis, for therapy against rheumatoid arthritis and as research tools.
